※ This video is an excerpt from the December 15, 2023 episode of "Myung-eun - Longevity Starts with Your Feet" broadcast on December 15, 2023. What if your feet are numb and your sensations are diminished? Suspect 'peripheral neuropathy'! A man in his 30s complained of worsening foot pain as the weather got colder. His feet were numb and tingling, and recently, his sensations had diminished, making walking difficult. Test results revealed damage to his peripheral nerves, causing sensory and motor dysfunction. The peripheral nerves, excluding the brain and spinal cord, control and regulate the functions of nearly every organ in the body, including motor, sensory, and autonomic nerves. Therefore, problems with the peripheral nerves can cause various pains and sensory abnormalities. So what causes peripheral nerve problems? The causes of peripheral neuropathy are diverse. The most common of these is diabetes, with 30-50% of diabetic patients suffering from diabetic peripheral neuropathy. What makes peripheral neuropathy so frightening is that once damaged, it's difficult to recover. There's still no cure for peripheral neuropathy, making early management crucial. What kind of care is necessary to maintain peripheral nerve function? And what symptoms should indicate peripheral neuropathy? Join Professor Ju In-soo of the Department of Neurology to learn about the characteristics, causes, treatment, and prevention of foot pain caused by peripheral neuropathy. ✔ Program Title: Doctor - Longevity Starts with Your Feet ✔ Broadcast Date: December 15, 2023 #ebshealth #doctor #health #peripheralneuropathy #foot #diabetes #peripheralnerve #footpain
